IMPORTANT
:
Never use the awning in bad weather or in strong winds!
The awning must be retracted if you leave the RV unattended for an extended period of time.
Before extending the awning make sure that sufficient space is available.
Do not manoeuvre your vehicle with the awning extended, and always be sure the awning is
retracted when leaving the campground!
If the awning will not extend or retract simply turn off the main power switch of the house
batteries, wait 10 seconds and turn it back on again. This will reset the electric system and the
awning may operate again.
12V appliances:
Inside and outside lighting, water heater, water pump, fan heater,
awning, bathroom vent, and fridge.

CAUTION:
Any damage resulting from improper operation of the awning is the renter's sole responsibility.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
12V DUAL BATTERY SYSTEM
The living area of your RV is powered by a 12V dual battery system (coach batteries). While the engine battery
(provides power to the engine and driver's cabin) and coach batteries (providing power to the living area of the
motorhome) are both charged by the alternator they are discharge independently from each other. The coach
batteries are located under the entrance door steps.
BATTERY SWITCH POSITION
The main switch
①
to turn the coach battery on and off is located next to the side
entrance door at floor level. If none of the 12V appliances in the motorhome are working,
check if the switch was accidently put in the OFF position.
HOOK-UP TO THE POWER GRID (110V)
A power cable is attached to the RV. It can be found in a rear external
compartment on the driver’s side. With it you can hook up the vehicle to the 110V
power supply at the campsite. The regular plug is for a 30 AMP plug connection,
which is standard on most campgrounds. For a 15 AMP connection, use the
provided adapter. All electrical appliances of the motorhome and the hook up at
the campsite should be turned off before you connect your RV. Use the 110V hook-
up whenever possible in order to preserve and recharge your coach batteries.
The coach batteries will recharge while the vehicle is connected to the electrical
hook-up. If the fridge is set to Automatic, it automatically adjusts to the 110V
power supply when you connect the vehicle to the campground's power hook-up.
CAUTION:
Try not to overload the coach batteries. Once the voltage is very low level, the alternator can no
longer fully recharge them. Hook the RV up to shore power as much as possible in order to charge
or recharge the coach batteries. We are not responsible for any “inconvenience” due to low
voltage coach batteries. Batteries and the charging system can be damaged when the batteries are
completely depleted. A professional will have to check and potentially repair the system.
